Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 2179 

the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as 

follows: 

PART 39—AIRWORTHINESS 

DIRECTIVES 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 39 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701. 

§ 39.13 [Amended] 

■ 2. The FAA amends § 39.13 by adding 

the following new AD: 

2007–02–01 Dassault Aviation: 

Amendment 39–14888. Docket No. 

FAA–2007–26855; Directorate Identifier 

2006–NM–264–AD. 

Effective Date 

(a) This airworthiness directive (AD) 

becomes effective February 2, 2007. 

Affected ADs 

(b) None. 

Applicability 

(c) This AD applies to Dassault Model 

Falcon 2000EX airplanes; s/n (serial number) 

06, s/n 28 through 90, s/n 93, and s/n 95; 

certificated in any category. 

Reason 

(d) The MCAI states that troubleshooting of 

a ‘‘ENG 1 FIRE DETECT FAIL’’ CAS (crew 

alerting system) message that occurred on an 

in-service aircraft revealed that the detector 

threshold tolerances could not identify a 

single failure of one engine fire detector loop 

out of the two present on each engine. The 

fire detection system is therefore not 

correctly monitored, and its integrity is not 

guaranteed at all times. The goal of the MCAI 

is to verify the fire detection system integrity 

by mandating a one-time inspection and, in 

case of findings, to replace the faulty detector 

pending further modification of the 

monitoring system. The MCAI will be 

revised/superseded once the terminating 

corrective action for the monitoring function 

has been approved. 

Actions and Compliance 

(e) Unless already done, do the following 

actions. Within 35 days after the effective 

date of this AD, perform an engine fire 

detection integrity check as required by 

paragraphs (e)(1), (e)(2), and (e)(3) of this AD 

in accordance with Dassault Service Bulletin 

F2000EX–137, Revision 1, dated December 7, 

2006. 

(1) First, in the baggage compartment, on 

each mobile connector of the monitoring 

units (L320WG) and (R320WG), the 

equivalent resistance of the two engine 

detectors at the LH (left-hand) and the RH 

(right-hand) sides must be verified. 

According to findings, the corresponding 

system is either considered correct or 

incorrect. 

(2) As a second step, if either one or both 

the LH and the RH system is (are) found to 

be incorrect, it is required to check the actual 

resistance of both detectors of the incorrect 

system(s) on the affected engine(s). 

(3) Any faulty detector must be replaced 

prior to further flight. 

(4) Actions done before the effective date 

of this AD in accordance with Dassault 

Service Bulletin F2000EX–137, dated 

November 23, 2006, are acceptable for 

compliance with the requirements of 

paragraph (e) of this AD. 

Other FAA AD Provisions 

(f) The following provisions also apply to 

this AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, International 

Branch, ANM–116, Transport Airplane 

Directorate, FAA, ATTN: Tom Rodriguez, 

1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington 

98057–3356, has the authority to approve 

AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the 

procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. 

(2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement 

in this AD to obtain corrective actions from 

a manufacturer or other source, use these 

actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective 

actions are considered FAA-approved if they 

are approved by the State of Design Authority 

(or their delegated agent). You are required 

to assure the product is airworthy before it 

is returned to service. 

(3) Reporting Requirements: For any

Revision of Class D/E Airspace; Big 

Delta, Allen Army Airfield, Fort Greely, 

AK 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This action revises Class D 

and E airspace at Allen Army Airfield 

(AAF), AK. The United States Army has 

decided to staff the Allen AAF air traffic 

control tower (ATCT) part time. The 

Class D and E airspace is being revised 

in order to align Class D airspace 

effective times to match ATCT hours of 

operation. The current title of the 

airspace described in FAA Order 

7400.9P is also changing to reflect 

current guidance in FAA Order 7400.2E. 

This rule results in the revision of Class 

D and E airspace at Allen AAF, Delta 

Junction, AK. 

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, March 

15, 2007. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under title 1, Code of 

Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to 

the annual revision of FAA Order 

7400.9 and publication of conforming 

amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

On Tuesday, October 31, 2006, the 

FAA proposed to amend part 71 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 

part 71) to revise Class D and E airspace 

at Allen AAF, AK (71 FR 63725). The 

action was proposed in order to align 

the Class D and E airspace with Allen 

AAF tower’s operating hours. The Army 

does not need to operate the control 

tower 24 hours per day. Class D airspace 

is only in effect when a tower is open. 

When the tower is not open, the 

airspace reverts to Class E. Additionally, 

the title of each airspace description in 

FAA Order 7400.9P associated with 

Allen AAF is being updated. In this 

case, the town of Delta Junction (which 

is closer to Allen AAF) is now 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
2180 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 11 / Thursday, January 18, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

referenced instead of Big Delta. The 

airspace changes meet the instrument 

procedure and tower operational hour 

needs at Allen AAF, AK. 

Interested parties were invited to 

participate in this rulemaking 

proceeding by submitting written 

comments on the proposal to the FAA. 

No public comments have been 

received; thus the rule is adopted as 

proposed. 

The area will be depicted on 

aeronautical charts for pilot reference. 

The coordinates for this airspace docket 

are based on North American Datum 83. 

The airspace area designated as Class D 

is published in paragraph 5000 of FAA 

order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

1, 2006 and effective September 15, 

2006 which is incorporated by reference 

in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace 

areas designated as surface areas are 

published in paragraph 6002 and 6004 

of FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated September 1, 2006, and effective 

September 15, 2006, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace areas 

designated as 700/1200 foot transition 

areas are published in paragraph 6005 of 

FAA Order 7400.9P, Airspace 

Designations and reporting points, 

dated September 1, 2006 and effective 

September 15, 2006 which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be revised subsequently in the 

Order. 

The Rule 

This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 

revises Class D and E airspace at Allen 

AAF, Alaska. This Class D and E 

airspace is revised to accommodate new 

tower operating hours, and will be 

depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 

reference. The intended effect of this 

rule is to provide adequate controlled 

airspace for IFR operations at Allen 

AAF, Delta Junction, Alaska. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore—(1) is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that will only affect air 

traffic procedures and air navigation, it 

is certified that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the United States Code. 

Subtitle 1, section 106 describes the 

authority of the FAA Administrator. 

Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, 

describes in more detail the scope of the 

agency’s authority. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in subtitle 

VII, part A, subpart 1, section 40103, 

Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under 

that section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to ensure the 

safe and efficient use of the navigable 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority because it creates 

Class D and E airspace sufficient in size 

to contain aircraft executing instrument 

procedures for Allen AAF and 

represents the FAA’s continuing effort 

to safely and efficiently use the 

navigable airspace.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to 14 CFR 71 modifies the 

Class E airspace area extending upward 

from 700 feet AGL (ES) at Phillipsburg 

Municipal Airport, KS. The radius of 

the Class E Airspace area extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

of the earth is expanded from within a 

6.5-mile radius to within a 7.6-mile 

radius of the airport. This modification 

brings the legal description of the 

Phillipsburg Municipal Airport, KS 

Class E5 airspace area into compliance 

with FAA Orders 7400.2F and 

8260.19C. Class E airspace areas 

extending upward from 700 feet or more 

above the surface of the earth are 

published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA 

Order 7400.9P, Airspace Designations 

and Reporting Points, dated September 

1, 2006, and effective September 15, 

2006, which is incorporated by 

reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 

airspace designations listed in this 

document would be published 

subsequently in the Order. 

The Direct Final Rule Procedure 

The FAA anticipates that this 

regulation will not result in adverse or 

negative comment and, therefore, is 

issuing it as a direct final rule. Previous 

actions of this nature have not been 

controversial and have not resulted in 

adverse comments or objections. Unless 

a written adverse or negative comment 

or a written notice of intent to submit 

an adverse or negative comment is 

received within the comment period, 

the regulation will become effective on 

the date specified above. After the close 

of the comment period, the FAA will 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register indicating that no adverse or 

negative comments were received and 

confirming the date on which the final 

rule will become effective. If the FAA 

does receive, within the comment 

period, an adverse or negative comment, 

or written notice of intent to submit 

such a comment, a document 

withdrawing the direct final rule will be 

published in the Federal Register, and 

a notice of proposed rulemaking may be 

published with a new comment period. 

Comments Invited 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in this rulemaking by 

submitting such written data, views, or 

arguments, as they may desire. 

Comments that provide the factual basis 

supporting the views and suggestions 

presented are particularly helpful in 

developing reasoned regulatory 

decisions on the proposal. Comments 

are specifically invited on the overall 

regulatory, aeronautical, economic, 

environmental, and energy-related 

aspects of the proposal. 

Communications should identify both 

docket numbers and be submitted in 

triplicate to the address listed above. 

Comments wishing the FAA to 

acknowledge receipt of their comments 

on this notice must submit with those 

comments a self-addressed, stamped 

postcard on which the following 

statement is made: ‘‘Comments to 

Docket No. FAA–2006–25943/Airspace 

Docket No. 06–ACE–13’’. The postcard 

will be date/time stamped and returned 

to the commenter. 

Agency Findings 

The regulations adopted herein will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 

the States, on the relationship between 

the national Government and the States, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. Therefore, it is 

determined that this final rule does not 

have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation is noncontroversial and 

unlikely to result in adverse or negative 

comments. For the reasons discussed in 

the preamble, I certify that this 

regulation (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory 

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, 

February 26, 1979); and (3) if 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

This rulemaking is promulgated 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 

40103. Under that section, the FAA is 

charged with prescribing regulations to 

assign the use of the airspace necessary 

to ensure the safety of aircraft and the 

efficient use of airspace. This regulation 

is within the scope of that authority 

since it contains aircraft executing 

instrument approach procedures to 

Phillipsburg Municipal Airport, KS.
